A MODEL FOR THE MAINTAINING OF STUDENTS OF CHOICE ABILITIES AT THE UNIVERSITY AND PRINCIPALLY IN ORDER TO THE MINISTRY

1658ST16442s.l.: s.n. Printed Anno Domini 1658. FIRST EDITION. 190 x 135 mm. 7 1/2 x 5 3/8". 3 p.l. 14 pp. complete. 20th century vellum-backed marbled boards flat spine with vertical titling. Front pastedown with bookplate of the Fox Pointe Collection. Wing P-2842B; ESTC R207754. ◆Text lightly washed and pressed but still crisp faint foxing to lower edge of title page otherwise a fine fresh copy in an unworn binding. Written by an opinionated English cleric this is an extraordinarily rare pamphlet proposing an unusual fund to support young 17th century scholars. According to DNB the scheme outlined in the present work was meant "to support the university studies of young men of promise seeking entry into the ministry." The plan "was approved by John Worthington and Anthony Tuckney and had the support also of John Arrowsmith DD Ralph Cudworth William Dillingham DD and Benjamin Whichcote. The fund raised about £900 and it appears that William Sherlock afterwards dean of St Paul's received assistance from this fund during his studies at Peterhouse Cambridge until 1660 when he graduated BA. Those entrusted with administering the fund sent Poole regular reports on students interviewed and the ratings they had received in philosophy logic and languages. The scheme was abandoned at the Restoration." Poole 1624 - 79 was the author of a number of controversialist pamphlets on subjects ranging from Unitarianism to preaching by lay persons before undertaking his major work: a synthesis of critical biblical commentaries "Synopsis criticorum aliorumque sacrae scripturae interpretum." This is one of his scarcest writings: ESTC lists seven copies two in North America while ABPC and RBH record just two copies at auction. s.n. Printed Anno Domini unknown

A VIEW OF THE ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES OF EDUCATION FOUNDED ON THE STUDY OF THE NATURE OF MAN

1832ST20735Boston: Marsh Capen and Lyon 1832. First American Edition. 188 x 120 mm. 7 3/8 x 4 3/4". xii 318 pp. Original tan cloth smooth spine with printed paper label. Front pastedown with bookplate of John A. Seaverns; front free endpaper with ownership signature of John Stevens dated 31 January 1833. Cloth somewhat faded slight fraying at tail of upper joint label a bit scuffed contents with occasional small stains one marginal tear and browning to a handful of leaves but an extremely well-preserved copy of a fragile book very clean and the condition issues all quite minor. In its original publisher's binding and from a major collection this is an excellent copy of the first American printing of an influential work on education. Spurzheim 1776-1832 was better known as an exponent of phrenology and an authority on mental illness than as an educational theorist but his "View of the Elementary Principles of Education" is nevertheless an important work that for the most part is sensible and progressive. Especially significant are his assertion that all influences from birth onward contribute to the physical and mental development of the child and the inference he draws from this that in addition to the conventional education of the intellect an optimal upbringing must include attention to such things as clean air proper diet and suitable exercise. He favors public education over private instruction because children will benefit by meeting a variety of people with "different manners of feeling and thinking." Spurzheim shows himself to be generally tolerant and forward thinking as he maintains that good education can improve almost anybody it would certainly reduce the number of criminals. But he sometimes disappoints as in his belief that many limitations are hereditary and must be taken into account in designing the most fitting education for an individual. He states for example that the poor ought to be prevented from reproducing as if poverty were in the genes. And in answering the claims of Mary Wollstonecraft's "Vindication of the Rights of Women" he says "I cannot perceive any arrangement of nature that can lead me to expect that women will cease to be considered as subordinate to men. Let them endeavor if they please to acquire the same degree of talent but till they have acquired it let them cherish order and exercise the virtues of their actual condition in society rather than attempt to rise into a sphere for which they are not at present fitted." Also appended here is a section on the treatment and reform of criminals in which the author calls for a better understanding of the causes of crime for the requiring of prisoners to undertake useful work and courses of instruction while in prison and for the study of the prison system instituted by William Penn at Philadelphia. This copy is from the library of John A. Seavers a self-described "omnivorous collector" whose interests ran particularly toward equestrian books as well as books and ephemera across genres. Much of his collection now resides at Tufts University. Marsh Capen and Lyon unknown

William Torrey Harris helped create the foundation of the modern American public school system using his influence as a philosopher superintendent and U.S. Commissioner of Education to shape how schools are organized and what they teach. He championed structured age-graded classrooms supported the first public kindergarten movement and promoted libraries art education and compulsory schooling as tools for developing responsible citizens. Though his emphasis on order and uniformity remains debated his ideas left a lasting imprint on the policies routines and expectations that define U.S. education today.

Printer's device on title page. With Greek inscription in ink on title page occasional ink marginalia and with a page of inked notes written in Latin in an early hand on blank verso of final leaf. Leaf 3r with an inexpert but endearing pen-and-ink drawing of a rider on a galloping horse below the dedication with some pencilled embellishments around it; A4r with an ink-drawn small face in one margin. EDIT 16 CNCE 23145; Gehl "Advertising or fama: local markets for schoolbooks in sixteenth-century Italy" in Costas ed. "Print Culture and Peripheries in Early Modern Europe" 2012. Corners a little bumped boards lightly chafed title page a bit soiled and browned four leaves affected by the same small burn hole a handful of words partially obscured another leaf with very small damage from ink burn-through occasional faint foxing or minor ink stains but still a pleasing copy the binding perfectly satisfactory and the interior with no major defects the historical charm of the annotations compensating for any blemishes they cause. This is the first and only printing of a scarce textbook on rhetoric by a Perugian professor of the subject charmingly decorated and annotated by an early--not very attentive--pupil. In the 16th century the market for textbooks tended to be regional. Schools and teachers wanted works produced by local scholars and printers a preference Gehl relates to their earlier reliance on manuscripts shared and recopied by the teachers who used them. He notes that "Perugia . . . had a particularly lively market for learned books that lasted from the early days of printing right into the 17th century" and local professors were a ready resource for publishers like Andrea Bresciano. In the present work Saxus ca. 1499-1574 a pupil of the great Perugian humanist Francesco Maturanzio 1443-1518 outlines the principles of persuasion giving examples of the various rhetorical devices and modes citing classical sources. According to Gehl our author "was an innovator . . . who made a serious attempt to facilitate learning by catering to the limited attention span of students and by including teaching tips to grammar masters." We have evidence of what he was up against in regard to the former in the doodles of a prior owner of this text who was apparently dreaming of galloping away from the classroom on a trusty if seemingly headless steed. On another page the face of a master or fellow student peers critically from a margin. But some attention was paid as shown by the notes at the end of the book. Saxus' writings never managed to break into the major markets of Rome and Venice but continued to be printed after his death in Florence and Perugia where Gehl says "he could be considered a regional celebrity" whose former students used his textbooks to teach their own classes. We could trace just one copy of this work in auction records. ex officina Andreae Brixiani unknown

To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania the Petition of . blank . That your Petitioners have seen the bills published respecting the Erection of Schools where the Children of the poor may be instructed gratis . we humbly pray that our Schools . may be endowed with a full share and portion of the monies raised by a Tax

1797372917Philadelphia 1797. 1p. plus integral blank. Bifolium. Unbound. Old folds minor separations at fold repaired. Provenance: General Theological Seminary unmarked. 1p. plus integral blank. Bifolium. In 1797 the Pennsylvania Senate passed a bill related to establishing schools throughout the Commonwealth for public education. This petition here un-accomplished but designed for use by various denominational groups to collect signatures notes the passage of the legislation and argues that various religious group have already established schools that provide both secular and religious education: "We are convinced that Schools ought to be established but we are fully persuaded that their establishment should be conducted and regulated in such a manner that they may not become an injury nuisance or detriment to those good citizens of this State who as members of certain religious societies conscientiously think it their duty not only to confer useful knowledge upon their children but also to instruct them in the religious principles peculiar to themselves." The petition continues arguing that public funds earmarked for education should be provided for their denominational schools: "Should your Honourable House institute Schools according to the design expressed in the bills above mentioned then we humbly pray that our schools which are already erected or may hereafter be erected in and by any of the Congregations of our profession in this State may be endowed with a full share and portion of the monies to be raised by a Tax and of the funds to be appropriated to any of the Schools contemplated by the said bills and with this provision that such our Schools shall remain under the sold inspection and direction of persons appointed by our respective Congregations for that purpose." The petition concludes: "As the object of our petition is proper and just and founded on the principles of religious Liberty guaranteed by the Constitution of this State we have every right and reason to expect that our request will be granted: And we shall ever pray." This is the only example of this petition recorded by ESTC and we cannot locate an earlier example of a petition by a denominational group for public funding of religious education in the United States.

182399089Madrid: Imprenta de D. Miguel de Burgos 1823. 1823. Very good. - Small folio 11-3/4 inches high by 8-1/4 inches wide. Softcover bound in plain brown wrappers. There is a short tear to the tail of the spine and the corners of the covers are creased. 6 unnumbered pages followed by a blank leaf. There are a couple of light spots to the front margin of the first leaf. A clean & bright pamphlet.RARE First only edition.When King Ferdinand VII of Spain returned to power in 1814 he repealed the liberal constitution of 1812 the Constitution of Cadiz. In 1820 soldiers preparing for an expedition to reclaim Spanish colonies in South America pledged loyalty to the 1812 Constitution and led by Rafael del Riego revolted against the King's absolute rule. On March 9 1820 Ferdinand accepted the constitution and gave power to the liberal ministers. The 3-year period that followed is known as the "Trienio Liberal". This period of liberal rule in Spain was marked by instability and a faltering Spanish economy. In January of 1823 a secret treaty was signed at the Congress of Verona by the United Kingdom France Russia Prussia and Austria. The treaty gave authority to France to invade Spain and restore Ferdinand VII as the absolute monarch. The King of France Louis XVIII put the Duke of Angouleme in charge of the Army of the Pyrenees also known as the "Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis". It was his mission to overthrow the Constitutional government of Spain and restore Ferdinand VII to his full powers as was agreed to at the Congress of Verona. Angouleme and his army entered the capital of Spain on May 23 1823. There he formed a royalist regency presided over by Carlos Maria Isidro de Borbon the Infante of Spain. The pamphlet at hand is an exposition addressed to the Duke of Angouleme by the Grandee of Spain represented by 36 members of the Spanish nobility who have signed at the end. It is worthy of note that the Grandee's statement is dated May 27 the day after the regency was installed. The statement praises Angouleme and calls for him to quickly unite the King with the nations of Europe. "Ahora la oportunidad de desahogar nuestros pechos oprimidos y de reunir nuestros deseos y nuestras fuerzas para lograr la suspirada restauracion era el dia venturoso en que un hijo por el amor y heredero por la sangre del poderoso rey cristianisimo de Francia ha aparecido en esta capital misma rodeado de tantos miles de valientes anunciando el grandioso designio de poner en libertad a nuestro Rey y de hacer que reine de nuevo entre nosotros el orden la paz y la justicia.Acabad senor pronta y felizmente el desempeno de vuestro noble encargo; juntad la libertad de un Rey de vuestra sangre a las justas esperanzas de una nacion amiga de la Francia; que de los esfuerzos reunidos de estos dos pueblos generosos resulte el bien Comun y un nuevo y duradero lazo de amistad y de alianza; que ahuyentadas las mezquinas y funestas pasiones para hacer lugar a la benefica concordia formada una sola familia con un solo espiritu en rededor del regio trono; puestos enfin los Espanoles en honrosa y sabia armonia con las naciones cultas de la Europa tan lejos de las intrigas de la arbitrariedad precursora siempre de desastres como de la inquieta y destructora anarquia podamos un dia mas dichoso y puedan nuestros hijos decir con inefable y permanente jubilo." Madrid: Imprenta de D. Miguel de Burgos, 1823. paperback
